we're going to get the technology for wind, we're going to get the technology for solar, we're going to get the storage technology in batteries. all that stuff chairman smith was talking about that's going on with the department of energy , in the science and technology committee, those technologies are coming. but as we've seen with things like solyndra and the tax credit that goes to wind farms, they're not economical today. we have low-cost fossil fuel that will bridge us until those technologies are ready for primetime and ready to go. we need to take advantage of it. we need to open up the infrastructure with things like the keystone pipeline. we need to open up federal land. so we can charge a royalty to the oil and gas companies for producing that on federal land, that will bring money into the federal budget that we could use for a wide variety of things. lowering the deficit, repairing our decaying infrastructure needs. we need to be a country of yes to all-of-the-above energy and it will solve our economic prices -- crisis and we will have a better life for every single ame

the technology environment in which we're operating changes. so in 2013, we thought it was a particularly important time as we finish this period, over a decade of two wars, it's a particularly important time for car ba -- darpa to step back and look ahead at the years and decades ahead and to give some real thought and then be very clear about how we interpret that mission in the context of today's reality. that's what our framework document is about. i think everyone has had a chance to look at it. it will be available on our website shortly after this press conference as well. just tocy knopp size what is in there -- to snop size what is n there -- synopsize what is in there, it's a look ahead at the darpa environment, we're trying to build radical new solutions. the first major factor that we see is we believe we're going to be in an extended period during which our national security will face a wide range of different types of threats from a wide range of different actors. nation states are in the mix but so too are terrorist organizations

our enemies around the world have sought nuclear weapons and missile technology. yet the obama administration has consistently reduced missile defense funding. they have abandoned previous bush administration bush administration strategies -- bush administration strategies that sought to respond to these emerging threats and has compromised the implementation of current missile defense programs. meanwhile they have sought elusive russian and now chinese approval of the right of the united states to defend itself. most recently the administration has abandoned its own missile defense strategy known as the phase adapive approach in favor of a stop-gap measure of finally placing the additional ground-base missiles in alaska they had previously canceled. i welcome the administration finally completing the missile field which it has attempted to close. although this reveals that they have no plan to reasonably respond to the real and foreseeable threats from north korea and iran. this announcement leaves the united states without an articulated missile defense strategy
